Anyone going to this? Is it worth it? I think it is like $150 to join & $250 for entire event ($60 Sunday only).
$400 seems pretty steep. Or maybe I am just comparing it to coaching clinics...lol

SW Indiana melon fields.
Having never been to the SWCA show, I can't comment on it in particular, but the ICA show is much better than the couple of regional shows I have attended. Regarding the price, it wouldn't be a part of the equation for me, any more than I would pick a movie based on the ticket price.

I highly recommend anyone who is new to the car wash industry to go to the SWCA or the ICA convention. There is a ton of information to be had there, you can talk to the industry reps face to face, ask questions, learn what’s new, maybe even save a little money there. I’ve been to probably 40 – 50 conventions over the years and I still learn something new every time I go.

I used to attend full days and all dinners when SWCA rolled around every year. Even drug the wife and kids to Galveston and made a vacation out of it when it used to be down there. It's definitely worth doing if you've never been. Full disclosure: Now days I only attend the show floor for a couple hours and free Kleen Rite BBQ dinner the night before the show.

I think it's $75 per person. It'll have the most people on the floor. No classes or lectures that day. Includes lunch.
